Harmony between Nature, People and Business
The Hummingfish Foundation (THF) is a Hong Kong based non-profit charity
organization, also a registered environmental protection charity in Timor-Leste. The earth’s natural environments are at risk and humanity’s lust for natural resources has driven biodiversity to the brink. Poverty is one of the most destructive forces against nature, especially in developing countries. THF believes that through developing naturally sustainable green products that are community-based, we can add economic value to unspoiled nature. Join us to know about how the mission transforms starving coffee farmers to sustainable coffee experts in Timor-Leste on 13 July!
Protect nature, protect the future: a green future for Timor-Leste
People need nature – and for over 30 years, Conservation International has worked to protect it. Through cutting-edge science, innovative policy and global reach, they have empowered people to protect the nature which we rely on. How? Join Krisdean Law from Conservation International Hong Kong to hear how her organization has helped communities to establish marine protected areas to safeguard the country’s incredible coastal ecosystems; and about plans to undertake research on the 25 species of whales and dolphins that frequent Timor’s waters – the protection of which secure the foundation of the country’s budding ecotourism sector. As one of the world’s youngest nations, you will find the foresight and determination of the Timorese government and the people to build a green economy truly inspiring.
